Emilia Clarke Describes her Recent 'Game of Thrones' Nude Scene as "Empowering"
Despite in the past Emilia Clarke signing what was supposedly a no-nudity clause for her role in Game of Thrones, the fourth episode of the series closed with her bearing all after emerging from a fiery wreckage that would kill any other man or woman.
"All I needed was vodka and some flattering lighting and I was ready," the 29 year-old actress said in an interview with The Sun. “I was so thrilled with it. It’s not a sexy scene, she’s not naked for no reason, it’s not gratuitous. She’s naked because she’s just destroyed her enemies in this almighty blaze after they underestimated her.
"She played her trump card - how could I say no?" Clarke added. She described the experience as "empowering." Clarke detailed her feelings toward filming nude scenes on the show, in an attempt to clear up just exactly how she would and will approach it.
“If a nude scene forwards a story or is shot in a way that adds insight into characters, I’m perfectly fine with it,” she says. “Sometimes explicit scenes are required and make sense for the characters or story, as they do in Westeros. If it’s gratuitous then I will discuss with a director on how to make it more subtle.”
